Night of the Iguana - Talky Tennessee Williams play. Burton & Ava Gardner are both good.

The Sandpiper - never regarded as a good movie, but Liz is beautiful in it and it is shot on location in Big Sur.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - The entire cast is great (particularly Burton), but it is a depressing story and the reveal about their child is just silly, IMO.

Days of Wine and Roses - great performances, but extremely depressing. Only saw it once, which was enough.

To Kill a Mockingbird - a masterpiece in every way.

A Patch of Blue - Also only saw it once. Shelly Winters steals the movie as the bigoted mother.

The Hustler - saw once or twice. George C Scott was Oscar nominated for it. Most of the movies on your list are too depressing (for me) to watch repeatedly, aside from To Kill a Mockingbird.

I watch TCM on Google TV. I imagine it might be on some of the other streaming internet providers.

It might even be a separate app to buy on Roku. Don’t know.

Liked The Hustler, but also liked very much the follow up The Color of Money.

Also watched two of the greatest car chase sequences on TCM back-to-back - Bullit with Steve McQueen and French Connection with Gene Hackman.

"Just watched Fiddler on the Roof. Excellent movie!"

I watched it as well. It was great. Can't believe I had never seen the whole film. I played the songs from it on violin in orchestra in Junior High but had never actually seen the movie.

They’re great car chase movies. No doubt.

But The Blues Brothers ... Hands down, the winner.

YMMV

Robert Duvall. I don’t like any of these movies.

Especially liked Lee Remick’s performance in Jennie: Lady Randolph Churchill.

The Sandpiper. I remember the little kid pointing out his mother(Elizabeth Taylor). The little kids buddy’s eyes popped WAY open.

Got the Russian version of War and Peace on DVD! Great movie (actually 4 movies in one)!

Great Movie! Now show WATERLOO, with Rod Steiger as Napoleon and Christopher Plumber as Wellington! Filmed by the same Russian Director!

I do miss TCM since I cut my cable. Cannot seem to find it as a reasonable add-on anywhere.

Sling TV online streaming, $20 per month I think, has TCM on its menu and its a favorite of mine as well.

Bonus points to you for actually looking to see that War and Peace was actually in fact on TCM much earlier today.

All six hours of it. Geez, and I thought the book was overwhelmingly long.
